In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the incident represented a serious violation of Kuwait’s sovereignty and accused Iran of acting in breach of international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter.
The ministry stressed that Kuwait’s national security and the safety of its citizens are a “red line”, adding that any action threatening the country’s stability would be met with appropriate measures in accordance with national and international law.
